Movie Reviews

New York Magazine (Vulture) - 10/10 by Bilge EbiriIt confronts, but it doesn’t exploit. It’s about one of the most horrifying events of recent years, and yet it’s defined by its austerity, its sense of quiet. It is as much about the complex, dull horror of memory as it is about the brute, sharp horror of that day.
Variety - 10/10 by Andrew BarkerStructured more like a requiem than a polemic, the doc ebbs and flows in accordance with the cycles of mourning as it speaks with parents of the murdered children, as well as the teachers, priests, doctors and neighbors afflicted with survivor’s guilt, elegantly and devastatingly capturing the tenor of a small town that will carry these scars for at least a generation.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Katie WalshThis film is an important historical record, and an important reminder of an event in American history that could have changed everything, that should have changed everything. There’s no reason why it still can’t. Newtown is a crucial reminder of that.
KDHX (St. Louis) - 9/10 by Diane CarsonIn her documentary Newtown, [director] Kim A. Snyder manages this Herculean task through present-day interviews with many directly affected. It is both uplifting and heartbreaking.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Tricia OlszewskiNewtown, even coming nearly four years after the shooting, remains devastatingly timely.
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzNewtown is being characterized as an apolitical documentary, just a portrait of Newtown before, during and after the shootings, but that's not entirely true.
New York Times - 9/10 by Neil GenzlingerThis film isn’t content to be merely a “never forget” reminder; it wants to convey just how deep and lasting the pain is, from this attack and, by extension, many others.
AV Club - 9/10 by A.A. DowdFrom a filmmaking standpoint, Newtown is neither adventurous nor unconventional. It doesn’t need to be; no documentary this emotionally direct, this emotionally draining, requires bells and whistles.
Junkee - 9/10 by Glenn DunksNewtown certainly isn't a sensationalist documentary. This isn't shameless grief-porn 'crimes that shocked a nation'-style filmmaking. It's touching and affecting.
Cinemayward - 8/10 by Joel MaywardSnyder's camera doesn't feel exploitative or didactic; it simply shows the faces and lives of people who have experienced the absolute worst and continue to endure daily life.
